Zulhijjah is the last month of the
Islamic calendar. Literally, it means "hajj." Obviously, this name of
the month indicates that the great annual worship of "hajj" is performed
in this month, which gives it special significance. Some specific
merits and rules relevant to this month are mentioned below:
First Ten Days
The first ten days of Zulhijjah are
among the most magnificent days in Islamic calendar. The Holy Prophet,
Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said, "One fast during these days is
equal to the fasting of one complete year, and the worship of one night
during this period is equal to the worship in the "Lailatul-Qadr".
Every Muslim should avail of this
wonderful opportunity by performing during this period as much Iba'dah
(acts of worship) to Allah as he or she can.
The 9th day of Zulhijjah
The 9th day of Zulhijjah is called
'Youmul - "Arafah' (The Day of 'Arafah). This is the date when the
Hujjaj (Haji pilgrims, plural of Haajj) assemble on the plain of
'Arafat, six miles away from Makkah al-Mukarramah, where they perform
the most essential part of the prescribed duties of hajj, namely, the
'Wuqoof of'Arafat (the stay in 'Arafat).
The Fast of Youmul 'Arafah
For those not performing hajj, it is
mustahabb (desirable) to fast on this day according to their own
calendar. It sometimes occurs that 9th Zuihijjah falls on different days
in different countries according to the sighting of the moon. In such
cases, Muslims of each country should observe 'Youmul 'Arafah according
to the lunar dates of their own country.
For example, if 'Youmul 'Arafah' is
being observed in Saudi Arabia on Friday, and in Pakistan on Saturday,
Pakistani Muslims should treat Saturday as 'Youmul 'Arafah' and should
fast on that day if they desire to benefit from the fast of
'Youmul'Arafah'.
The fast of 'Youmul 'Arafah' has been
emphasized by the Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, as a
mustahabb (desirable) act. According to a hadith, the fast of this day
becomes a cause, hopefully so, of forgiveness for sins committed in one
year.
Takbir-ut-tashriq
Beginning from the Fajr of the 9th
Zulhijjah up to the 'Asr prayer of the 13th, it is obligatory on each
Muslim to recite the Takbir of Tashriq after every fard prayer in the
following words.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar... La Ilaha Illallahu, Wallahu Akbar...Allahu Akbar wa lillahilhamd.
(There is no god but Allah and Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.)
According to authentic Islamic sources,
it is obligatory on each Muslim, to recite this Takbir after every fard
salah. For women also, it is commendable though not obligatory. Whether
you are performing salah with Jama'ah (collectively) or on your own
(individually) makes no difference. You must recite the Takbir. However,
male Muslims should recite it in a loud voice, while females should
recite it in a low voice.
